Referenced Schema
This item must validate against the following schema:
Key:
keyType:
stringDescription
A key that uniquely identifies this word token within the Text. The key for a Word consists of the abbreviation of the text, a period, dash, or underscore, the number of Utterance within the text, another period, dash, or underscore, and then the number of this word within the Utterance (indexing starts at 1). For example, for the fourth word of the third Utterance of a text with the abbreviation
A, the key would beA.3.4. Keys should be unique within a corpus.Regular expression to match:
^[(a-z)|(A-Z)|(0-9)]+[-_\.][0-9]{1,3}[-_\.][0-9]{1,2}$Literal Translation:
literalDescription
A literal translation of the word at the level of the morpheme token
